What is paced bottle feeding?
Quick answer: Paced bottle feeding holds the bottle nearly horizontal, keeps the baby upright, and builds in pauses so the baby controls flow and pace, mimicking the effort of nursing instead of gravity-pouring milk in.
In practice
It matters doubly for breastfed babies taking bottles: it prevents overfeeding (protecting your carefully budgeted stash) and reduces bottle preference by keeping bottles from becoming the easy option. Teach every caregiver; the technique takes one demonstration and saves ounces daily.
